1, 2 and 5 fps
Have to install a screencapter program for videos :-) (Edit, hmm, Screen Recorder, ahhh .....)
As long as EZ-B is off, nothing wobbles...
yes, I have less than 250ms, I have to check, I'll keep testing...
This robot skill re-renders the control for every frame, catching the radar image only partially drawn.
There is a workaround...
- lower the radar scan speed (i.e., to 250ms)
- increase the increment speed to 10 or something, which will give you a similar sweep speed
- lower the fps to 2 or 4 to match the 250ms scan speed
I use the other skill for that, everything fits. it's totally ok for me..
